	Colorado River - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Colorado River is a river in the southwestern United States and northwestern Mexico, approximately 1,450 mi (2,330 km) long, draining a part of the arid regions on the western slope of the Rocky Mountains.
		Below the Black Canyon the river lessens in gradient, and in its lower course flows in a broad sedimentary valley's distinct estuarine plain upriver from Yuma, where it is joined by the Gila River.
		The lower course of the river, which forms the border between Baja California and Sonora, is essentially a dry stream today due to use of the river as a water source.
